    That would be a long haul with plenty of time to think about what "choice"words to say,probably wouldn't be a good idea.;D

    Well I tracked them down to the Fed-Ex site. I will be picking up the package in about 30 mins. They have officially been boxed up for over 60hrs now. I don't really have high hopes for them making it that long.

    Take lots of pictures. Get a time stamped receipt from FedEx.

    So I finally picked up the coral. I got it home and opened up the box. When I intially opened the box I had thought my puppy had went to the bathroom on the carpet again. I searched around for a good minute for a "present" left by my little puppy, but quickly realized the smell was coming from the box and not my dogs business.

    So I unpacked the coral and did what I always do, which was Coral-Rx new additions, but I know there really was no hope for any of these corals. Here are some picks of what I was supposed to get and what I actually received. The pink goniopora is the only picture I couldn't find from the actual website, but you'll get the idea.

    Here is the WYSIWYG picture of the yellow polyps and then what I got:

    and finally the awesome mushrooms I was so excited to get:

    As you can see it's pretty close to WYSIWYG:

    Maybe I will print the pictures of what the corals were supposed to look like, laminate them, and stick the pictures into my display tank. And when people ask I can just say, "Yeah thats what my tank would have looked like if some guy had done what he said he was going to do."

    Looks to me as the WYSIWYG yellow polyps are nowhere near what they should be. I counted no more than 6 polyps on that rock. The gono looks to be just a random rock they threw in a bag. The mushrooms are toast from the pictures. I wouldn't put them in my tank at all.

    Submit a claim with paypal about how the goods arrived damaged. I guarantee you that you will win the case AND get your shipping back.

    Can you pm me the company so I know not to buy from them?
